4.0 out of 5 stars A very gripping story about Nate Saint and his commitment!, October 18, 1998
By Ronald J. Grob (Buford, GA.) - See all my reviews
The book is basically an autobiography of Nate Saint, the missionary, pilot, and martyr. The story begins slowly with an account of his family when he was young, his trials in the Army Air Corps. and his life as it developed afterwards. Being a pilot myself, I would have liked more details about his flying experiences (it seemed that the author was not a pilot). The story did focus on Nate's humor, his tenacity, his love and commitment to God, his love and close relationship with his wife and family(and mother and Father). Without a doubt the author captured the feelings of Nate and his spiritual duties and successfully relayed them to me. It left me with envy of Nate and his willingness to commit so fully and totally to his endeavor. A commitment like his must truely be a reward unto itself..

4.0 out of 5 stars Jungle Pilot, December 1, 1999
By James A Green (Smyrna, TN) - See all my reviews
"Jungle Pilot" is very good Christian literature. A good day to day account of Mission Aviation Fellowship operations in there out stations. Nate Saint's Jack of all Trades and the Master of Most attitude fits in well with a Bush Pilots mentality. I would recommend to aviation and religious readers alike. A good companion book would be "Through Gates of Splendor" by Elisabeth Elliot who's husband was martyred with Nate.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring biography of a modern martyr for Christ. Superb., March 8, 1999
By A Customer
Insightful, often humorous, and deeply challenging biography of an ordinary American with an extraordinary faith in God and committment to His call to the life of a missionary pilot in Ecuador in the 1950's. Along with four friends, this warm, deeply spiritual man, a tinkerer with a love for "airplanes and Indians", was killed in 1956 by the tribal people to whom they had committed their lives. This noble life, willingly sacrificed for love of God, makes a book of which it can rightly be said, "it will change your life." Don't miss reading this one!
